Description
Bone Support is a comprehensive formulation for supporting growth and health of strong bones, and teeth.
It contains food based ‘marine calcium’, derived from seaweed in pristine Icelandic waters. Seaweed Calcium is not only a rich source of calcium but magnesium and over 70 other trace minerals too. The honeycombed, porous structure of seaweed allows calcium to dissolve more readily, enhancing digestion, absorption and utilisation. The calcium in seaweed is a wholefood source, embedded in a natural, organic matrix. This makes it more recognisable and compatible with the human body than inorganic sources such as calcium carbonate.
It also contains key cofactors including magnesium, a vital mineral in bone structure. Vegan vitamin D3 sourced from lichen, and the mineral boron, both assist calcium metabolism. Vitamin K2 promotes bone proteins and helps ensure calcium is used in bones where it is needed and not in other soft tissues, such as blood vessels.
What are the benefits of calcium?
Calcium is essential for maintaining strong bones and teeth. It plays a crucial role in reducing bone mineral loss in post-menopausal women, which is key to preventing osteoporotic fractures. Additionally, calcium supports muscle function, enabling proper relaxation and contraction, which are vital for movement and cardiovascular health. It also aids in nerve transmission, which is necessary for effective communication between the brain and body.
Where is our calcium sourced from?
Cytoplan’s calcium is sustainably harvested under an exclusive license from the cool, clean and pristine waters off Iceland’s south-west coast. This is an area untouched by international shipping and industry. Where the warm waters of the gulf stream meet the cold clean waters of the Arctic, the perfect conditions exist for deposits of Lithothamnion to build up.
Who might need a calcium supplement?
Children, teenagers, and women who may need to support their bone development or help maintain bone structure as they get older. Also, where bones are damaged or broken, calcium is needed to support repair. If supplementing calcium, it’s helpful to consider other supportive nutrients to ensure the calcium is used to support bones, in particular, vitamins D and K.
